Managing invasive wild boars in Southern Brazil’s protected areas: challenges and strategies
(2023) [Journal article]Invasive species pose significant threats to ecosystems and biodiversity, necessitating effective management strategies to mitigate their impacts. One such invasive species of concern is the wild boar in Brazil, which has ... -
Rhynchospora section Pleurostachys (Cyperaceae): a phylogeny and three new species from the dry forests of Bahia and Espírito Santo, Brazil
(2024) [Journal article]Background and aims – We tested the integrity of Rhynchospora sect. Pleurostachys, understand its evolution and origins, and test the phylogenetic separation of three morphologically distinct taxa. Material and methods – ... -
Influence of insertion/deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin converting enzyme gene on adiposity and cardiac function in patients with heart failure
(2025) [Journal article]Background: The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism (rs4340) is associated with the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF). This polymorphism may contribute to a greater propensity for ... -
Systems biology network reveals the correlation between COX-2 expression and Ch 7q copy number alterations in Ch 11q-deleted pediatric neuroblastoma tumors
(2022) [Journal article]Tumor-associated inflammation and chromosomal aberrations can play crucial roles in cancer development and progression. In neuroblastoma (NB), the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is associated with copy number alterations ... -
Forest-biased terminology does not help to include open ecosystems in conservation policies
(2024) [Journal article]Inadequate terminology, in particular the use of the term ‘Forest Code’ for the main conservation law and of the term ‘deforestation’ for loss of all types of ecosystems, in the conservation debate in Brazil confuses the ... -
Disentangling Signatures of Selection Before and After European Colonization in Latin Americans
(2022) [Journal article]Throughout human evolutionary history, large-scale migrations have led to intermixing (i.e., admixture) between previously separated human groups. Although classical and recent work have shown that studying admixture can ... -
DNA copy number profiles and systems biology connect chromatin remodeling and DNA repair in high-risk neuroblastoma
(2024) [Journal article]Neuroblastoma (NB) is a solid tumor that accounts for 15% of all pediatric oncological deaths, and much is due to the low response to therapy in relapsed tumors. High-risk NB may present deletions in chromosome 11q, which ... -
Plantas características de campos conservados: um parâmetro para subsidiar a conservação do bioma Pampa
(2024) [Journal article]O Pampa faz parte dos old-growth grasslands, ecossistemas antigos caracterizados pela alta riqueza de espécies herbáceas e alto endemismo. Em 2002 restavam apenas cerca de 19% de campos bem conservados no Rio Grande do ... -
Hepcidin, Interleukin-6 Levels and Iron Metabolism Parameters in Patients with Hepatic Glycogen Storage Diseases: A Cross-Sectional Study
(2024) [Journal article]Hepatic glycogen storage diseases (GSD) are characterized by recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia, and anemia has been recognized as a frequent complication of these disorders. This was a convenience cross-sectional study ... -
How can Brazilian legislation on native seeds advance based on good practices of restoration in other countries?
(2024) [Journal article]In the decade of global ecological restoration efforts, Brazil intends to restore 12 million hectares of degraded areas. This will require an ample offer of seeds of native species, unavailable on the current market, which ...
